I'm not looking for explicit testing support from setuptools for testing here - I'm just asking that a bug that breaks a 3rd party testing package be fixed.
You haven't stated anything yet that sounds like an actual bug to me.
What about the dangerous & broken complaint?
Which I don't yet understand, let alone agree with. Simply asserting over and over that it's bad and dangerous doesn't help.
He's also right in that arbitrarily setting the execute bit apparently serves no explainable purpose (otherwise I assume you'd have provided an explanation by now), so the onus of explaining why this is a desirable behavior comes back to setuptools.
Did a decision ever get made here? I don't mean to be a nag, but this is continuing to cause problems for me and my users. Just wanted to make sure it doesn't get lost/forgotten. This is why people have bug trackers y'know. ;-(
